I have some Bulgarian 10. As Ben said, its reliable firing but not very accurate. Shoots anywhere from 3" to 9" groups from the one mosin I have. Honestly most days I can't reliably hit a milk jug at 100 yards. One day I shot a whole box at a 2 liter at 90 yards and never hit it.

One of these days ill try pulling a dozen or so bullets, re-weigh the powder in all of them and seat the bullets back. Then see how it groups. One individual told me he does that and gets 1" groups out of it. He said the powder varies greatly from one case to the next.

I just have a kinetic hammer puller which I really don't think would get the job done. Before I try this I'll buy a collet bullet puller for the press. I think that would be the way to go. What did you try to pull the bullet with? The fellow who told me about it swears by it. He used some sort of press puller. He said the powder varied by GRAINS in them. Not 1/10's of grains. Almost like they just scooped up some powder in them and seated a bullet. But they didn't manufacture this stuff for precision bolt actions. They ran it through machine guns with a spray and pray, suppress by overwhelming fire method.
